Traditionally, Moses was the writer of the first five books of The Bible, known collectively as the Pentateuch, or, The Torah. Exodus is the second book of the five. (The English phonetic spelling of the Hebrew name for Exodus is Sh'moat.) Thus, Moses is the writer of Exodus and that is how they link together.

God instructed us (the Jews) to keep the festival of Passover in commemoration of the Exodus, in which Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt (Exodus ch.12).

Exodus 12:27New King James Version (NKJV)

27 that you shall say, 'It is the Passover sacrifice of the Lord, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households.'" So the people bowed their heads and worshiped.

A:Biblical tradition says that Moses was chosen by God to lead the Israelites in the Exodus from Egypt.

On the other hand, it is the near-unanimous consensus of scholars that there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, so there is no historical relationship between the legendary Moses and the biblical Exodus.

Yes. In Passover we relive the Exodus from Egypt and our birth as a nation, both of which were preparations for receiving the Torah from God.

The highlight of Passover is the Seder meal. This meal is of great importance in Judaism. It is a 3325-year old continuous tradition that began on the night of the Exodus from Egypt (see Exodus chapter 12), and is fully detailed in our ancient Oral Traditions (Talmud, chapter Arvei Pesachim).

The Seder meal is one of those occasions, like Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, that Jews all over the world, Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike, observe in common. During the Seder, we keep the essential mitzva and customs of handing Jewish traditions down to the next generation, with the traditional Seder foods and the ceremony of reading the Passover Haggadah which retells the events of the Exodus.

During the Seder meal, other traditional foods are eaten in addition to the matzah: bitter herbs, parsley, wine and haroset (see below). Salt water, a roasted egg, and a bit of roasted meat are also on the table.

During all the days of Passover, matzah (unleavened bread) is eaten; while leavened foods such as bread, cake, cookies, cereal and pasta are forbidden. Certain prayers are added in the synagogue services, and the Torah is read each day.

Here is the symbolism of the items on the Seder plate:

The bitter herbs (maror) symbolize the harsh slavery which the Israelites suffered in Egypt. Either horseradish or romaine lettuce is traditionally used for maror.

Charoset - A sweet mixture representing the mortar used by the Jewish slaves to build the storehouses of Egypt. In Ashkenazi Jewish homes, charoset is traditionally made from chopped nuts, grated apples, cinnamon, and sweet red wine.

Karpas - A vegetable other than bitter herbs, traditionally parsley, which is dipped into salt water at the beginning of the Seder. The dipping of a simple vegetable into salt water (which represents tears) recalls the pain felt by the Jewish slaves in Egypt.

Beitzah - A hard-boiled egg, symbolizing the korban chagigah (festival sacrifice) that was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem and roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night. Although both the Pesach sacrifice and the chagigah were meat offerings, the chagigah is commemorated by an egg, a symbol of mourning.

Z'roa - A roasted lamb or goat shank-bone, chicken wing, or chicken neck; symbolizing the korban Pesach (Pesach sacrifice), which was a lamb that was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem, then roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night.

The covenant with the Israelites, which was initiated between God and Abraham (Genesis ch.15 and 17), was sealed between God and the Israelites in the time of Moses. From that time on, the covenant takes the form of the entire Torah and its commands. Moses is related to it because it was through him that God gave the Torah (Exodus 24:12).
